HCC Medical Insurance Services, a leader in international travel health insurance, released an infographic highlighting amazing places to visit.

Unique activities appealing to adventure seekers interested in swimming with sharks in South Africa, dog sledding in Alaska, and volcano climbing in Mauna Lao are a few of the featured exotic vacation destinations. Other top picks include large events such as the Conference and Festivals, historical landmarks like the ruins in Macchu Picchu and one of the most well-known natural features of Japan, Mount Fuji.

The Japan National Tourist Organisation reported that over eight million international travellers visited Japan last year. According to the World Tourism Organisation, international tou-rism grew seven per cent last year and is expected to increase worldwide this year.

International travellers should consider travel assistance services they might need. Mark Carney, chief executive officer of HCCMIS, said: “If a serious incident occurs in a remote location, it could cost thousands of dollars for a medical evacuation. Many tourists might be un-aware that access to a life-saving medical evacuation may not happen until payment is guaranteed in advance.”
